Bonjour! For UWM’s Year of the Humanities, the French Program is offering seventeen films including four special events: a day-long hip-hop dance and music program, featuring special guest Jean-Pierre Thorn, a classic double feature evening focusing on cinema and politics in 1930s France, an afternoon devoted to Claude Lanzmann’s most recent documentary, and Jacques Feyder’s 1925 silent film, Mother, with live musical accompaniment.

About the Festival

The Festival of Films in French, founded in 1998 by the UWM French Program, presents over a dozen French-language films (with English subtitles) that celebrate the diversity and global reach of French-language cinema.

Something for Everyone

Classic and contemporary films from across the francophone world, a silent film evening with live musical accompaniment, a matinée for children, an environmental feature, and many Milwaukee premieres.

Join Us

All films are free and open to the public, thanks to the support of UWM Departments and Programs and the Milwaukee community. Join us for ten days of heart-warming, thrilling, and thought-provoking viewing!
